A big thank you to Allison! Your consistent reviews have been lovely! As have everyone else's! It makes me want to write more! So thank you all!
Avoidance was something I'd grown close to in the passing weeks. Even if I had wanted to see Alo, he hadn't given me a chance. I hadn't seen hide nor hair of him for the best part of two weeks.
Avoiding Liv was also proving to be rather easy too. She had now moved on to her second pray -after she got bored of Nick- Matty. No guesses as to why Franky was in such a foul mood.
Not that I wanted to see him. So why did I feel so awful?
It was a Thursday, and as usual Grace was being her usual peppy self; honestly, you wouldn't think her weird emo of a boyfriend would have to patience to tolerate her. Or anyone for that matter.
But sure enough, he was there when she -quite forcefully- dragged myself and Franky to lunch.
Needless to say neither one of us were in the mood for her shenanigans, especially Franky as Nick and Liv were both playfully chucking food at each other on a nearby table. Franky squeezed a handful of chips so hard, they turned into a gooey mashed-potato mess.
"Come on, Cranky Franky, just ignore them" Grace said jokingly, earning a death glare from Franky for her new distasteful nickname.
She mumbled some incoherent swears, and turned her attention back to her pulverized chips.
I on the other hand, was taking a rather healthier approach to my repressed frustration. Staring down my water bottle as if it might spontaneously combust seemed to be helping.
That was until, Grace asked the dreaded question.
"Where's Alo?"
For fucks sake. Who cared? I was getting on perfectly well, without knowing "Hand-me-downs" whereabouts.
Rich looked back at her in mild amusement. "Oh he's probably entertaining his Bonnie Lass as we speak,"
My eyes flashed up instantly. "What are you talking about?" I gabbed.
"Yes Rich, what are you talking about?" Grace added.
Even Franky looked meekly interested, but all Rich did was smile and incline his head to something over my shoulder.
"Well I'll let him do the honours" I heard him snort as my own head unconsciously whipped round to where Rich's was pointing to.
There, leaving the food counter and starting towards us was Alo.
But he wasn't alone. He currently had his arm wrapped around a girl -a very pretty girl's- waist.
"'Ello all" he beamed when they got to us.
"Urm, hi Alo and.." Grace replied awkwardly,
"Oh sorry! How rude of me," he began and turned to the girl.
"Guys, this is Amy" he laughed, "My girlfriend."
The water bottle in my mind finally exploded.
Sorry it t'was short! I just had to leave it there though! Reviewing is greatly appreciated!
